Cops are currently at Seau's home just outside San Diego. Seau was 43-years-old ... and leaves behind 3 kids and an ex-wife.

Seau was a beast in the NFL -- skyrocketing to fame thanks to his explosive play with the San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots. The USC standout was selected in the first round of the NFL draft in 1990 and played in the league for 20 years.

Seau was involved in a car accident back in 2010 when he drove his SUV off a cliff in Carlsbad, CA hours after he was arrested for allegedly attacking his girlfriend. Seau later said he was not trying to kill himself ... insisting he had fallen asleep at the wheel.

The storm is coming. When Goodell dumps kickoffs and continues to modify the game, it'll have started with things like this. Every brain these BU people study seems to have brain damage. At this point it may not be outrageous to think that down the road, young kids will not be allowed to play football.Posted via Mobile Device

Well, they havent outlawed boxing yet.

As far as I know there's no pee wee boxing. One of the people involved in the BU study thinks kids under 14 shouldn't play football.

Really though the big thing is when an article comes out of nowhere like the one about eliminating kickoffs and stuff like that. People are like "What?" Goodell is trying to cover himself in case they start really linking the NFL to brain damage.Posted via Mobile Device

I have a friend who says that in 20 years, football will be a fringe sport because moms and dads will stop letting their kids play for fear of concussions and other injuries. Not sure I agree with him, but things they are indeed a changin'.

Football provides too many opportunities for too many kids for that to happen.

So what moral obligation does the industry have? I say there is only one: health care for life for all vested NFL players. There are roughly 18,000 former players alive and breathing. It is feasible, considering the $9 billion dollars in revenue the league brings in every year, to provide health insurance for every one of them. As it stands now, players have five years of post-career health coverage: then they're on their own with a long list of pre-existing conditions. Many football-related ailments don't pop up until later. By then many of them are broke.

If it is true that football is our true national pastime, then we should protect it. That means protecting those who play, and yes, those who played. They do not disappear when they stop playing; they limp along. And every uninsured, drug-addicted, crippled, dementia-praecoxed former player who limps through his football-free world is a black eye on a league that is already up against the existential ropes. Finding a way to insure those who need it, like RGIII someday will, would be the PR boost that the league so desperately needs, with the additional virtue of being the good and ethical thing to do.

Then we could stop pointing fingers. We could stop telling lies about "safer football." We could allow the game to evolve in its own best interest instead of the best interest of the league's PR machine and litigation team. And we could enjoy the game of football again, knowing that the men who entertain us will be taken care of when their bodies are no longer healthy enough to hold our attention.
